Pneumatic safety locks with 24V control
Mobile caster kit for flexible positioning
CE approved and tested above rated capacity
Key Features
Pneumatic Safety Lock System
The pneumatic system engages automatic safety locks at any height within the 41.25-inch range. The toothed ladder track and pawl beneath the scissor arm mechanically lock the platform, preventing drop during service. Compressed air-powered release (85-120 PSI required) provides hands-free operation. Combined with the 24V low-voltage control and automatic height limit switch, these safety features meet CE certification requirements.
8,000 lb Capacity
Reinforced scissor mechanisms rated for 8,000 lbs - 2,000 lbs more than typical 6,000 lb mid rise car lifts. Tested above rated capacity for safety margin. Long-life self-lubricating bushings reduce maintenance requirements.
Mobile Caster Kit Included
Four industrial-grade casters rated at 500 lbs each with foot-operated locks. Reposition between service bays or storage in under 30 seconds - ideal for car lifts in small garage environments. Platform extends from 56.25 to 80 inches using flip-up ramps for longer wheelbases.
110V/220V Dual Voltage - 35-Second Rise
Full 41.25-inch lift in 35 seconds using 110V (30A circuit) or 220V commercial power. Aluminum motor housing with integrated cooling fan helps maintain stable operating temperatures during continuous use. Uses ISO 6743/4 HM-class hydraulic oil.
4.25-Inch Collapsed Height
At 4.25 inches when lowered, this mid rise auto scissor lift sits lower than Atlas TD6MR (5.75") and BendPak MD-6XP (4.75"). The low profile accommodates lowered vehicles, sports cars, and modified suspensions. The low approach angle prevents undercarriage damage on vehicles with front spoilers.
Applications
This 8,000 lb mid rise scissor car lift handles professional shops and home garages requiring quick under-vehicle access. The 41.25-inch height positions vehicles at ergonomic working level.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit in a standard residential garage?
Yes. The X80 measures 73.25" wide by 80" long, fitting standard garages with 8-foot or higher ceilings. The 4.25" collapsed height allows vehicles to drive over when lowered, and the mobile kit enables repositioning for storage.
What size air compressor is required?
85-120 PSI, which most 20-gallon shop compressors provide. Air is only used for releasing locks, not lifting. One release cycle uses approximately 0.5 CFM at 90 PSI.
Can this handle full-size trucks and SUVs?
Yes. At 8,000 lb capacity, the X80 safely lifts F-150s, Silverados, Tahoes, and similar vehicles. Platform extends to 80" for longer wheelbases. Average F-150 weighs 4,500-5,500 lbs.
What electrical service is needed?
110V with 30A circuit recommended, or 220V single-phase. The 24V control system provides thermal overload protection. Most garages have suitable 110V outlets.
Will this work with lowered vehicles?
Yes. At 4.25" collapsed, it sits lower than competitors (Atlas TD6MR: 5.75", BendPak MD-6XP: 4.75"). The low approach angle helps prevent front spoiler and undercarriage damage.
Can I install this myself?
Experienced DIYers can follow the manual, though professional installation ensures optimal safety. Ships in two boxes (1,190 lbs and 132 lbs) requiring forklift unloading. Assembly takes 3-4 hours.
How often does this require maintenance?
Change hydraulic oil periodically based on usage and condition (ISO 6743/4 HM class). Self-lubricating bushings reduce routine greasing. Check pneumatic connections quarterly and inspect safety locks before each use.
What warranty coverage is included?
1-year parts warranty plus 3-year structural warranty on frame and structural components. Free shipping on replacement parts. Labor not included.
